Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

ok, i'm ashamed to admit it, but we got 2 inches of snow yesterday, and i used my 926DLE to clear it.  i know it seems like a waste of gas, but i really wanted to use it.  in a feeble attempt at redemption, i did two neighbours' driveways and sidewalks too.  of course, with only 2 inches, i was back inside in under 20 minutes for all three.

i'm so ashamed....

You should do what I do in that situation.  Push into a big pile with a shovel then use the snowblower to move the pile.

Ashamed....???

I do the same thing with my 1332DLE...!!

Consider it practice......it's good to break in the baby .........using it justifies owning it....

I did the same thing when I first got my 1128DLE.

 Now ......I feel MUCH better that I got that off my chest.

We just unwittingly started a new organization.  We can call it Snowblowers Anonymous (SA)....  where you can bare your soul; receive consolation and absolutely get NO HELP  from other ailing members. lol

You were outside in the fresh air, walking, moving a piece of equipment around. Others were in a gym, paying to do the same inside. You accomplished good will, and got to go out side rather than sit on the coach and think of what to do. I figure you did some good for yourself and others. A snowblower is more than a machine, it's something that gets one outside in the fresh air. Thus worth it's weight as far as exercise goes. I think a snowblower as more than a machine. It's a low impact workout, a thing to get one outside when it's cold, snowing and windy, a tool to clear the driveway, and something that makes snow storms more fun, thus bringing one to a more fun time in life when going outside when snowing is actually........ FUN!
